Important Information

Concussions

If you are diagnosed with a concussion, it is very important to notify the Nurse and Athletic Trainer (if you participate in a sport). Return to Learn and Return to Play guidelines will be followed to ensure students have both cognitive and physical rest to assist with a full recovery. If the overseeing health care provider has recommended cognitive rest, the School Nurse will notify the appropriate parties at Mount Vernon Township High School of the recommended accommodations for the specific student. Students will not be allowed to participate in PE or Athletics until they are released by a licensed healthcare provider or the athletic trainer.  They will then begin the Return to Play progression as determined by the Team Physician and Athletic Trainer.
